The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy opened her mouth, feeling as though she'd been struck mute, unable to find her words.

Yes.

There was a time when she wished nothing more than for Amanda to perish, to meet an ill fate, to experience the agony of having loved ones still walking the earth while she could not.

But ever since Dorothy let go of her stubbornness, those thoughts had faded away.

It wasn't that she didn't harbor resentment towards Amanda anymore, but rather, she found it pointless. She believed in leaving the rest to the courts of law.

"Letting it all out might make you feel a bit better, so feel free to talk," Dorothy's voice was soft. "But, would you let me stay by your side? I promise, I won't say anything, won't do anything, just be there for you.'

"I need some peace and quiet."

"Then I-"

"Dorothy, are you not getting it?"

His voice rose, the irritation clearly evident.

"I'll be at Bay Residence waiting for you."

What Dorothy really wanted to say was that she and the kids would be waiting for him at home, but she worried it might upset Everett even further.

Having lost her own mother, she knew all too well that pain, so no matter what Everett would say, she wouldn't get angry or blame him.
